Original Joint

I don't do many reviews, but I feel obligated to pass on my experiences in the hope you can help your horse. My recommendation is if you have a horse with any arthritic problems, you need to try this. One of my horses has bone spavin and another one has just a little bit of arthritis in the hock. I've tried many expensive joint supplement (both recommended by vets, and homeopathic.) The one with bone spavin has had his hocks injected and other intramuscular injection remedies. When he hurts he is not as happy, does not want to move around, and obviously can't be ridden. I saw some studies on Equithrive, along with other peoples reviews, and decided to try it. I noticed an improvement in about 4 days because he seemed happier (more personality) and was running around with the other horses. I'm now riding him at a walk/trot and he is doing well. I now have my other two horses on it and the one with minor arthritis is also performing better at the lope. I am continuing to give my bone spavin guy the loading dose because it is working so well. I'm afraid to reduce it, but it is well worth the money compared to hock injections, etc.

first rec by equine specialist vet in Lamesa, TX - started a young horse who had early cutting horse training injury, turned into coffin joint arthritis/ringbone. I thought I would have to put my gorgeous Cody down over 3 yrs ago. He is so improved with this supplement - now runs pasture and good for light riding. I put my 20 yr old & 18 yr old on and see a vast improvement over past yrs since. They had developed knobby hocks/fetlocks, stiffness - they are definitely improved - move smoother and more eager to run and handle heavier work. I have all 3 on maintenance dose and very please. It is noticeable. Highly recommend.

Using it on two horses. Vern - 30 yrs old - retired show horse. Severe joint problems. Some days are better for the old guy than others but all in all he has shown improvement. His comfort is most important to us. Second - Claire - 20 yr old retired show horse. Claire had started to slow down and showed stiffness in pasture and with farrier. Claire now acts like a ten year old. This was suggested to us by our vet. YES - it is spendy - since we have two using it but I would not stop using it even if price went way up. Very happy with product and would suggest it to anyone who is looking for a product that works. I tried all the cheaper things - was throwing my money away.

Seemed to work well on our 17 year old mare for kids riding her lightly every other day. Cleared up some of the hop in her trot. She still lopes like a drunk on a barrel, but that's ok.

We have a pony who has suffered from laminitis his entire 25 years. We would allow him some pasture time each day, but after several weeks we would notice him walking gingerly. So, back to confining him with nothing but grass hay. Then, our vet suggested EquiThrive and we tried it to reduce his insulin reaction. At first we kept him confined but added ET. When he had noticeably lost weight and was feeling much better, we gave him some pasture each day. Now, he's doing great and acting like a ten year old. We'll see what happens in the spring when the grass again turns green and lush. But we are hopeful and encouraged.

Equithrive Joint (2 lb) I am trying this product for the first time on the advice of my vet. My appendix gelding is coming up on his 30th birthday in a few months and has been gimpy on his left front hoof partially due to arthritis and other issues. I have completed the first month and he is doing better. {My vet said it would take at least a month to see any results.} I have been riding him and doing some trotting again. My hope is that he will continue to improve a little more although I know he is getting up in years. I have been riding him all along but now feel he is more comfortable trotting.

I have been able to stop all other supplements, including gastric aid products and joint supplements.Has saved me a lot of money. Due to adverse weather conditions my horse has spent more time than usual in his stall, which usually means either he stocks up or he needs bandages to keep down the filling in his legs. Since starting this product, he has been fine. The product works very quickly and I noticed big differences in a matter of days. I like that this can be a long term solution to problems that are related to inflammation and may allow horses to heal themselves naturally.

I have my own resveratrol capsules, Layla, our Great Dane is taking her chews and finally I have Semisweet, my 21 year old appendix Quarter Horse accustomed to the taste and taking this joint protection. I started out thinking it wasn't that much of a help. But two months into using it on all of us, I feel a difference. And Semi is doing dressage and using joints and muscles like an athlete. I feel freer in motion and I have to report that I think he does too. I thank our vet for recommending trying Equithrive

My horse liked it but I did not notice any difference in his way of going!

I've been using this product for a month. It's very expensive. I haven't seen any difference in my horse's joints between it and other cheaper joint supplements I've used.

My horse will not eat it when it is mixed with his beet pulp and grain.
